I know the difference between early decision and single choice early action. But i was wondering applying to what college would increase my chances of getting in?I am not planning on applying to all of these but i am not against either of them because they are very good schools but i just wanted to know. I know that these are really competitive and it may seem random at times but i just need a straightforward answer to this, use logic to the answers please. Thanks!!

Classic prestige hunter… nice.
They are all prestigious yes, but that doesn’t make them the same. Applying ED also drastically raises your chances for getting in at all of those schools, but your chances will still be very low regardless. Research a few that you really like and then just narrow it down to one. We don’t know what you’re looking for in a school, outside of the obvious prestig.
@thedreamer101 You should pick the school for ED/SCEA based on where you fit in best and also what you want to study. Not all ivies are the same. There are major differences amongst these schools and you should really take the time to determine what kind of environment you want. This way you can narrow down this list.
To answer your question Penn gives the biggest boost to its ED applicants vs its RD applicants, but applying early to any of them will boost your chances at least a bit.
